FOCUSED SKILLS:
Describe the functions of the bones and muscles
Identify common diseases and injuries
LESSON GUIDE
The skeletal system is made up of all the bones in the body. It is also called the
framework of the body. Its function is to protect the different internal organs
and help our body move together with the muscles.
Skull- protects the brain
Eye socket- protects the eyes
Backbones/ spine/ spinal column- protect the
spinal cord
Rib cage- protects the heart and lungs
Pelvic bones/pelvis- protect the internal
organs and support our body when we sit. It
is the largest bone in the body.
Joint- it is the place where two bones meet; it
allows movement; movement originate from
here

Explain the function of stomach and intestines in digestion
Identify the most common problems and treatment of the stomach and

LESSON GUIDE
Digestion- the process by which food is broken down into nutrients; it takes
place as soon as we start to chew our food; Digestion starts in the mouth and
ends in the small intestine where absorption takes place. Undigested food is
stored in the large intestine and is removed from the body during defecation.
Digestion is both mechanical and chemical.
Mechanical digestion- the breaking of food into smaller pieces

FOCUSED SKILLS:
Structure, function of the kidney
LESSON GUIDE
The urinary system is composed of the kidney. Its main function is to remove
liquid water from the blood in the form of urine. They also keep a stable
balance of salt and other substances in the blood and produce a hormone that
aids in the formation of blood cells.
The kidney is a bean-shaped paired organ which are about four to five inches
long and two to three inches wide. The right kidney is lower because of the
presence of the liver. It removes urea from the blood through tiny filters called
nephrons. It filters salts, water and nitrogenous waste.

Chameleon
LESSON GUIDE
Camouflage- the ability of an animal to change its color or markings in order to
blend to its surroundings
Ex: flounder, English peppered moths, trout, chameleon,
Mimicry- it an adaptation in which one animal closely resembles another
animal in appearance or behavior
(Animal Diversity/Glencoe Science/National Geographic Society/p. 10)
Animals imitate the shapes, smell, tastes, color or even the sounds of other
animals. Examples are zebra, killer whale, and tiger.
Some animals secrete chemicals to protect themselves like squid, wasp, snakes
and jellyfish. Octopus release a cloud of ink to escape.
Animals have adaptive behavior that protect their own kind. They move in
groups/families/herds/pride/pack. Monkey, elephant, penguins, hyena, and
wolves are examples of this.
Some move fast to protect themselves. Cheetah and ostrich are examples.
While some animals have protective coverings such as turtles, crabs, snails
and oyster. When they sense danger, they keep their bodies inside their shells.

Habitat- is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular
species of animal, plant, or other type of organism.
Animals move differently depending on their habitat and their body structures.
Animals that live on land move in different ways. Some walk, hop and jump.
Others fly and crawl. Most animals that live in water swim. But some aquatic
animals have legs for walking. Examples are crustaceans like shrimp, prawn
and crab. Animals that can live both in water and land can either walk, hop,
jump, or swim.

FOCUSED SKILLS:
Identify the characteristics of terrestrial plants
LESSON GUIDE
Terrestrial plants- they are plants that grow on land.
Plants have different parts: stem, roots, leaves, flower
Plants’ leaves are used to trap energy coming from the sun in order for the
plant to make food. Waxy leaves protect the plants from dehydration as a result
of too much exposure to sunlight. Others store water especially in desert areas
like the cactus.
The roots main function is to absorb water and minerals from the soil. It also
anchors the plant to the soil and thus prevent soil erosion.
The flower attracts man, animals and most especially, insects. These insects
are necessary for pollination that help in plant propagation.
The stem holds the leaves and flowers and serves as a passage of food.

healthy. There are different kinds of soil: clay, loam, and sand. Many plants
grow best in loam soil. Some grow well in sand and some can grow in clay soil.
Plants need water. Some need more water than others. All plants need air and
sunlight to grow. However, some plants need less sunlight than others.

LESSON GUIDE
Predation- the type of interaction where one benefits while the other one is
harmed or badly affected
Predator-Prey Interaction
a. Predator- the organism that benefits from the relationship
b. Prey- the organism that is harmed
Ex: Lion (predator) vs gazelle (prey); Cat (predator) vs mouse (prey)
The size of predator and prey population are related to each other. If the
number of prey is large, the number of predators increases. The number of
predators decreases, since they have a smaller food supply.
Parasitism- the relationship where one organism is called the parasites and
the other is called the host.
a. Internal parasites- they are found inside the body of the host
Ex: ascaris, ringworm, tapeworm
b. External parasite- they are found outside the body of the host
Ex: aphids, tick

Competition- an interaction in which two organisms compete for survival
Parasitism- one organism depends on the host for food, protection and
reproduction
Predation- the kind of interaction in which one organism kills smaller organism
for food
